Cowley collects SCAC field hockey weekly award
Centre College freshman goalkeeper Patty Cowley (Louisville, Ky.) has been named the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Field Hockey Defensive Player of the Week after helping Centre to a pair of victories in matches played Monday, Sept. 22 through Sunday, Sept. 28.
Cowley recorded her fourth consecutive shutout against Transylvania University (1-0 OT) and made some key saves in the Colonels come-from-behind 3-2 overtime victory over DePauw University to win her seventh and eighth games of the season this past week.
Cowley's presence was certainly felt as she made a number of remarkable saves late in the games to extend both matches to overtime, where Centre eventually pulled them out.
Cowley's performance helped Centre reclaim the top of the table after a very competitive weekend of SCAC play.
Cowley is the fourth Colonel to earn conference player of the week honors. Senior Emily Boyle (Louisville, Ky.) was the league's Co-Defensive Player of the Week in week two. Junior Sally Faulkner (Louisville, Ky.) was the league's Defensive Player of the Week in week four and senior Teresa Johnstone (Louisville, Ky.) has been named Co-Offensive Player of the Week in both week two and week four.
Centre, now 8-2 overall and 2-1 in the SCAC, will travel to Louisville, Ky. Thursday, Oct. 2 to play Bellarmine University. The non-conference match s set to start at 7 p.m.
